This is really more of a Windows question.  You want an X server for Windows 
with the ability to do ssh X tunnelling.

The first search I did returned this:

http://www.labf.com/winaxeplus/index.html

I can't vouch for it, and have no idea what it costs, but I read far enough 
down the description page to have the sense it's the sort of thing you're 
looking for.

I think you have to enable X11 over ssh on the server side 
via /etc/ssh/sshd_conf...

Yeah, there's a line in there:

X11Forwarding yes

The config I'm looking at may be stock Kubuntu, so it may already be enabled.  
I remember having to turn this on by hand in the past though, so who knows.

Anyway, that's the gist of it, and should offer enough to supply you with 
search terms for further research, if needed.

Good luck!
